I have always heard of the prestige of Yongle Bell, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Dazhong Temple has always been associated with the wholesale vegetable market in Beijing. Now that the market is gone, we can have a quiet look at the monastery. The original name of Dazhong Temple is Juesheng Temple. Because of this Yongle bell, it is also customarily called Dazhong Temple. In the temple, besides Yongle bells hanging in the bell tower, there are clocks and chimes collected for various dynasties, as well as clocks from Japan, Korea and Europe. The types of clocks are very complete, and they are displayed in the various rooms and courtyards of the temple. Because the temple is newly built, it is very regular but quiet. It is rare to find a quiet place in the bustle. It is also good to have a rest at ordinary times. If you have the annual card of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Park, you can come three times free of charge. If there is a trade union mutual aid card in Beijing Bank, you can visit it free of charge for infinite times.
